French in Plain Sight's video: What can we learn from Kristin Scott Thomas speaking French - The result of total immersion

Voici a new video in our very fun series of reviewing native English-speaking celebrities speaking French! Et aujourd'hui il est temps d'écouter Kristin Scott Thomas speaking French in an interview from 2008. We learn a lot about her, rather than what we see in a typical interview promoting a film. She's quite relaxed and talks about her emotions and history. Kristin Scott Thomas is from England but moved to France when she was 19. "I went for 15 days and styed for 30 years" she says at one point. She truly speaks better than me, and a lot of that is down to continual exposure and immersion in the French language and culture. I think everyone needs to take that into account when comparing their French to when Kristin Scott Thomas speaks French. As usual there's lots of juicy French grammar and French expressions to pull out of it in my usual style, so j'espère que cet épisode vous plaira autant que ceux précédents.
